Trip to Love (Jackson's Story)
Chapter 22. Practicing Shooting

Jack is allowed to go home. He no longer returned to the apartment but a luxurious mansion given by his father. The mansion has a building area of 2000 square meters. His father said the place was enough to assemble an army.

Jack did not refuse his father's gift. However, there was another from Louisa. He seemed to be keeping his distance from himself. As Jack invites Louisa to the tour room, as soon as they arrive at the main room, Jack immediately closes the door and corners Louisa on the wall. Louisa was surprised, not playing. Not only that, Jack suddenly forced a hot kiss on Louisa's lips to make Louisa helpless.

Louisa was currently only able to close her eyes trying to enjoy the touch of Jack's lips. Unwittingly, he is increasingly linked to Jack.

"J_jack." J." Louisa's voice was shaking.

"Why have you been so indifferent to me since?"

"I_it's because ...."

"Loui, do you know? I seem to be getting entangled by you. I'm in love with you. Can't you just trust me and never doubt me, what else you intend to get away from me."

"I'm afraid of Jack. I can't see you getting hurt anymore because of me."

"Then learn to be strong, Loui. You should be able to defend yourself and shoot. So when I protect you from the enemy in front, you also protect me from behind. How's it?"

"You've put too much hope in me, Jack."

"We'll know later after trying it. Don't be pessimistic Loui. I know you're more than capable."

Jack gently rubbed Louisa's hair. The girl just kept quiet while biting her lower lip. Jack was absolutely convinced Louisa was more than capable of learning all the science she would later teach.

Two days later, Jack arrived many people dressed all in black. Louisa was surprised where those people came from. They all saluted Jack. The man was still acting ordinary and seemed unperturbed by their presence. Sebastian and Hugo arrive at the very end they momentarily bow their heads saluting Jack.

"All has arrived, sir."

"How much?"

"200 people."

"Daddy is really overkill." Jack rolled his eyes lazily. It has been worth it since there was no end. Turns out his father dropped off 200 men to help him.

"Put them in the back. Let them rest. Tomorrow I want everyone to gather at 8 in the back yard."

Jack momentarily pursed the base of his nose. His temples feel pulsating. Louisa remained silent not to bother Jack.

"Are you ready for practice today?" jack asked, The man now turned his head completely to look at Louisa who was only as tall as he could.

Louisa nodded with a faint smile. Jack pulled Louisa's hand gently and carried her to the back of the mansion. Louisa could not understand how rich Jack's father was, so she easily bought Jack a very large and luxurious house and a large yard behind him. There's a place to practice shooting, there's a horse racing venue and there's a large yard in the back for what it does.

Jack helps Louisa put on her gloves and earplugs. Then Jack took a firearm and handed it to Louisa.

"Let's aim at the circle that's there. The key is just focus."

Louisa received the weapon from Jack's hand. Jack holds Louisa's hand and helps the girl point her gun at the target. Louisa's heart was pounding as Jack squeezed her body.

"What's this supposed to do, Jack." Louisa felt uncomfortable, especially now that the two of them were in an open space.

"Yes, so that no one would dare to glance at you carelessly."

"You're absolutely ridiculous, sir." Louisa then directed her eyes toward the target. His hands were sweating because they were quite groggy.

DORR!!

The sound of a firearm eruption sounded deafening, lucky Louisa to wear earplugs. There's a thin grin out of Jack's lips. He saw a hole not far from the center of the target.

"Pretty good, Loui. Now you need to focus more. Try."

Jack let go of his embrace and sat down on a chair. Louisa again aimed at the shooting target which was from where she stood about 10 meters.

Louisa closed her eyes for a moment while breathing in. He began to close one eye and then ....

DORR!!

The bullet went off again and this time Louisa's shot was on target. The bullet went through the midpoint of the target. Jack smiled proudly. From the beginning he was sure Louisa could.

"Good, Loui."
